Microsoft Leaks WiFi App That Keeps You Connected Around the World - NBC News

More challenges ahead for the wide-area wireless oligopolists

"Microsoft on Tuesday briefly and accidentally took the wraps off a new app called Microsoft Wi-Fi that promises "hassle-free Internet access around the world." The service's website went live ahead of schedule and a sharp-eyed Twitter user noticed. The idea is similar to the company's Skype WiFi, a lesser-known service that lets you use Skype credit to pay for Internet hotspots around the world. Microsoft Wi-Fi will grant access to more WiFi points, work on every major platform and have links to certain Microsoft enterprise customers, like Office 365 subscribers."
